MINING NOTES.

Foster S. Dennis and Pete Caffery, Of
the Alpha mine, Todd Basin, are feeling
particularly good over recent strike OF
rich ore in that mine.
The contractors who are sinking the
main shaft Of the Keystone mine at Min
eral Park have struck some fabulously
rich ore in prosecuting their work. The
rich ore was struck about five feet below
the old work, and consists of several
inches Of almost pure ruby and antimo-
nial silver, said TO be richer than any
ever taken from the mine. II must be
the pure stuff If it is.
Hon. David Southwick sent down a
couple Of car loads Of heavy galena from
his Star Spangled Banner claim, which
went very we'll. He is not apt to send
down much more until lead goes up a
notch or two.
The Oro Plata folks have twelve tons OF
ore on the platform at the Sampling
Works, but will not have 1t sampled until
the teams get in with enough to make a
couple Of car loads.
We hear they have twelve foot breast
Of SO ore in the Signal mine, and that
the mill has all it can do to keep up with
the teams.
John X. Mckenzie had q car load Of
screenings from the Cupel mine worked
last week, which sampled in the neigh
borhood Of 20 ounces. Pretty good stuff
for screenings. He has another twenty
tons ready to send down.
The G. o. d. mine has twelve tons Of
ore from the main shaft and seven from
the tunnel at the Sampling Works, also
some fifty tons on the dump ready to be
hauled. Superintendent Howell will have
four car loads sampled at the next work
ing, and expects TO clean up ten thousand
dollars on the lot. That he will do it
there is no doubt.
Owing to the stormy weather of the
past week most Of the ore teams have
been laid up, and receipts Of ore at this
point have been correspondingly light.
Messrs. Monaghan & Murphy, Of the
Needles, sent up car load Of ore from
the Black Metal mine last week which
netted them good returns. This mine lies
on the west bank of the Colorado, south
Of the Needles, and in what has been
known as the Black Metal district.
Brown Il Miller sent in 2 800 pounds oi
gold ore from their Weaver district claim
which went better than any previous
shipment Of the same amount.

In Brief, and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered liver
10 misery. Indigestion is a foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one OF
the most complicated and wonderful things
in existence. 1t is easily put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food, bad
cookery, mental worry, late hours, irregular
habits and many other things which ought
not to be, have made the American people a
nation Of dyspeptics.
BIT Green's August Flower has done a
wonderful work in reforming this sad busi
ness and making the American people 80
healthy that they can enjoy their meals and
be happy.
Remember: No happiness without health.
But Green's August Flower brings health
and happiness to the dyspeptic. Ask you,
druggist for bottle. Seventy-fye cents.

The Prescott Explosion.

A new aspect has been pat on the ex.
plosion. Witnesses at the inquest swore
that they heard two explosions, one close.
ly following the other. II is now though,
that dynamite or some other terrible ex'
plosive Was placed In or upon the boiler,
and caused the disaster.
A man named Louis Beck is suspected
Of doing this, as he and Mr.. Viii.
son. the proprietor OF the mill, hsd had
some trouble over some land owned by
Beck, and from which he claimed Wilson
was cutting timber. Beck was very bitter
toward Wilson. Witnesses testified that
the boiler was tested minute before the
explosion and found to contain plenty o,
water. Emphasis il added TO this theory
by the tact that mill was burned before
on this same spot, and Beck was suspect
ed t,f that crime.
The Coroner's jury failed 10 arrive at
any verdict as to the cause Of the explO'
sion. The theory that dynamite was In
troluced into the boiler is rapidly gaining
supporters. 4 number Of expert engi'
neers testified that steam could not cause
the explosion and the breaking Of the
boiler into number Of pieces, as II did
Several expert engineers will visit the
scene Of the explosion andtest the strength
Of the boiler, which was new and had
only been used short time.
The survivors of the late explosion
were very indignant, and would no doubt
have lynched Beck had not the Sheriff
been present. m.s

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your
breathing machinery. Very wonderful ma.
chinery it is. Not only the larger air.pas.

cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged or ohoked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. All shat

d. A. Bradford, Wholesale paper dealer of
Chattanooga, Tenn. writes that he was
seriously afflicted with severe cold that
settled On his lungs; had tried many RENE.
dies without benefit. Being induced to try
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consumption,
did so and WAS entirely cured by use of a

Too Impatient.

Gao Of THEM Says tho Slavery Fanatic Was
Too Impatient. So n
Pit'burgh FO,!. va
Rather q strange but interesting story
is narrated by Daniel Clifford, colored
citizen Of this place. Clifford, who Is now
lying aick and does not expect 10 recover,
made tho following statement to biz
physician few days ego:
"When WA RECESSED from the Western
Penitentiary In the spring Of 1851 went
10 Canada and enlisted in company then
being organized by John Brown. Alter
our little band w9s organized wo proceed
ed to Missouri, where Browns son was
killed in an attempt 10 rescue certain
slaves who had been sold and were 10 be
taken to Texas. In this conflict several
OF the slave owners were also killed.
Alter this wo again returned TO
Canada, where we remained dur.
Ing the winter. In the, mean
time Brown WIS actively engaged in re-
organizing our company and increasing
our numbers. In the spring Brown re-
turned to tho United States and left
Richard Reaif and myself III charge Of our
organization in Canada. by September,
1850, our company in Canada numbered
about seventy.fve well equipped men and
We we're prepared to make our way in
squads Of ten through Pennsylvania into
Virginia to meet Brown and his little
army. Brown was to let us know whom
and where We should meet him, aud was
TO have everything arranged for our at
tack upon Hnrper's Ferry. The plan was
that the negroes were, at the proper time.
to rise up and come 10 our assistance.
The inhabitants were 10 DO made prison.
ers, who were to be exchanged for slaves,
and as tho arsenal contained about 1907
900 stand OF arms, We could have equip.
ed enough negroes to have killed every
slave owner in Virginia before the United
States troops could have been ready to
move"
1--WE were preparing to htart for Virginia
by the lst OF October, but On account OF
some difficulties We were delayed. Brown
WAS very passionate, hot-headed man,
and Us We were to meet him by the 20:h
Of October, but did not, | presume he
thought that il the negroes in the neigh
borhood would come 10 his assistance he
could take and hold the araeual until we
arrived. When the raid proved failure
and there WIS no rising Of the negroes,
and Brown was captured, our organization
diabanded for wan. OF & leader, but had
Brown been prudent enough and visited
until our arrival there is not the slightest
doubt that our scheme would have been a
success"
Clifford is about 60 years Of age, tall,
cree: and almost white. In 1858 he aud
several other negroes we're tried aud con-
yicted in this county for the murder Of
Lily Zimmerman. Clifford, with the rest
Tas sentenced to five years. imprisonment.
Although his etory ID not believed by
mnuy, yet there are many things that 60
to corroborate it. His description Of
Brown and many thinsu that occurred
whllu lie WAS in the West, are accurately
told, and the bold and reckless character
ae well as the chcckered life Of Clifford 20
tar toward corroborstlng his story.
